To insert a quantity of plan view devices (in this case, light fixtures) into your workbook use the Insert Lighting Group Attribute command. DM Electrical 
Light Fixtures and Groups Insert Lighting Group Attribute. The Insert Lighting Group Attributes dialog box will open.
The table below explains what each field in the Insert Lighting Group Attributes dialog box represents and defines.
Field |
Sets |
Lighting Group Name |

Attribute |
The attribute refers to a type of data about a lighting group that will be entered into an excel row when selected. For example, if you select Area, Design Master will insert into an excel cell the area for the selected lighting group (the label Area will not be inserted.) |
New Cells |
There are two choices regarding how to insert new cells. When you select Overwrite Existing Cells, the values will be inserted over top of the existing cells. The first value will be placed in the active cell with additional values placed below. When you select Insert New Rows, new rows will be inserted for each value. The current row will be moved down to make room for the new values. The cells in the current column will contain the selected values. The other cells in the new rows will contain the same values as the current row. |
